SkyShowbiz.com has released a spy picture from the set of the DC comics adaptation
Green Lantern, which is currently filming in New Orleans, Louisiana. The image is our first look at actor Peter Sarsgaard wearing prosthetics and make-up to portray Hal Jordan/Ryan Reynold's nemesis Hector Hammond:
According to Green Lantern mythos, Hector Hammond was a scientist who was contracted to work with the US government. After accidental exposure to alien technology, Hammond gained exponential telepathic abilities. The growth of his powers inadvertently caused his head to deform and grow disproportionately to the rest of his body. Before the accident, Hammond displayed one-sided affection to Hal Jordan's love interest Carol Ferris.
Sarsgaard will appear in theaters alongside Ryan Reynolds (Hal Jordan), Blake Lively (Carol Ferris), Tim Robbins (Sen. Hammond) and Mark Strong (Sinestro) when
Green Lantern hits theaters in June 2011.
